P!nk – The Truth About Love
The Truth About Love seems like a place where Pink has been comfortably sitting since 2006. It may be easy to digest music, designed to grab a generation younger than Pink’s core, ready to reach #1 on popularity charts, but as an album part of her discography, it leaves much to be desired.
Peter Hollens – Misty Mountains: Songs Inspired by The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings
With impressive vocals and fantastic arrangements, Hollens takes us back to Middle Earth.
Pigeon Detectives, The – Up, Guards and at ‘Em!
Up, Guards and at ‘Em!, the third album by Leeds-based The Pigeon Detectives, is a fairly underwhelming record with no memorable moments to make it worthwhile. With strong competition in the post punk revival/guitar rock scene, The Pigeon Detectives need to step up their game if they want to stay relevant.
Piggy Dolls – Hakuna Matata
The Piggy Dolls have returned, releasing their first full-length album. Leaving aside weight and concept issues, Piggy Dolls is a great group. Their vocals put them miles ahead of their competition in today’s idol world.
Piggy Dolls – Piggy Style
In a world filled with rail thin idols competing with one another to have the best “s-line,” a refreshing new group has debuted in South Korea. Piggy Dolls is a three-member vocal unit that makes most of the girl groups out today sound like singing chipmunks.
Radiohead – The King of Limbs
Radiohead is back, groovier than ever. Long gone are the melancholic days of The Bends, or the experimentalism of Kid A. This time, Thom Yorke and pals have taken on the challenge of making a glitchy, sample-filled dubstep album. Successfully? You be the judge.
Raphael Saadiq – Stone Rollin’
Raphael Saadiq comes back to resurrect the music industry with tracks that are as sexy as they are insightful. He’s always managed to bring the best out of his music. His fourth studio release, Stone Rollin’, is no exception.
Rapsody – The Idea Of Beautiful
A beautiful mix of elegance and fire, Rapsody brings to mind the sort of hip-hop that the industry has sorely missed while giving women another superhero.
Red Hot + Bach
How well have the tracks in the compilation album Red Hot + Bach fared in ‘contemporarilizing’ this leading Baroque composer’s music? Read on as Adrienne shares a piece of her mind with you.
